Working on LDCad 2's file loader made me revisit this discussion.
We never voted on formalizing the order so I wanted to remind people about that, and also would like to suggest one additional change:
<LDraw>\p
<LDraw>\parts
<LDraw>\models
<LDraw>\
<LDraw>\Unofficial\p
<LDraw>\Unofficial\parts
Above is like last mentioned order, but with library root folder inserted.
This will make the LDConfig.ldr file findable using a standard search, which imho makes the loading mechanics cleaner as it basically is assumed to be at the root of the model tree.
edit: It will also uniform user locations as those would just be libraries without the p and parts folders.
Thoughts?
Or just vote one the original order (without scoping rules, as those are still not agreed upon).
